@jgauthier thanks a lot for this great plugin! As others have said before, this was one of the last missing must-have-features in order to increase productivity within obsidian!
I have two questions:
-
can I include the file link (link to my local pdf) directly in the template? I tried with {{file}} but that obviously doesn’t work. Is there any placeholder for this?
-
would it be somehow possible to implement a feature that allows to include my cited reference directly in the actual note?
Let me elaborate on this second point:
Say, I have a last h2-heading in a note that is called ## References
. Whenever I insert a pandoc-style citation @citekey
, the full citation is added to my References chapter (like: Author (year): Title, in: xxx, p. xyz), ideally even with a direct link to the local pdf if there is any.
I think, however, this is somehow to complicated to implement…!? An easier solution would be maybe to provide a shortcut that allows to insert this information myself. So, if I press this shortcut, the plugin inserts whatever I have defined in a special template for this, using placeholders.
My individual template could then, for example, look like this:
{{author}} ({{year}}): {{title}}, in: {{containerTitle}}, p. {{page}}. [[@citekey]] [Link to pdf]({{file}})
→ where [[@citekey]]
provides the link to my literature note in this example and [Link to pdf]({{file}}
results in the following link: [Link to pdf](/path/to/local/file.pdf)
.
Any chance something like this could be implemented quite easily?
Anyway, thanks for your great work and for sharing this with us!
